TRAVELING
1-18
Sound horn when starting
Before starting, make sure no one is near the truck. Let other
workmen and bystanders know you are starting up by sounding horn.
Keep your hands clean
It is dangerous to operate the steering wheel and levers with greasy
hands. If grease, oil or soil is sticking to your hands, clean if off.
Keep the truck’s center of gravity low during traveling
(when loaded in particular)
About 20 cm above ground
When traveling (when loaded in particular), keep the forks 20
cm above the oor or ground and tilted back, so as to lower the
truck’s center of gravity as far as possible.
Never use man as an additional counterweight
Do not use man as an additional counterweight. Do not offer rides
to others.
Avoid sharp starts, stops and turns
Start, stop and turn slowly. Before turning, slow down the truck
sufciently. In particular, an unloaded truck might tip over when it
is turned sharply, because the rear of the truck is heavy.
Before reversing the direction of travel, bring the truck
to a complete stop
It is dangerous to reverse the direction of travel abruptly.
